So this was a fun build. I actually finished this 2 years ago, but I never really thought to post it. It took roughly 2 weeks straight to build and stain it, Christmas holiday. I used the kreg jig alot. I also used a ebony outdoor stain. Anyway if y'all have questions let me know and I'll try to answer them as best I can. This was one of my first builds, so be gentle. :)

Made this for Christmas for our 2-year old last year. The plans were easy to follow, and it turned out great. She loves it!

I chose the Southern Yellow Pine because of its strength for furniture. Also I have used the pour on finish before with good results. The wood was a special order thru Menards and took about a week to get.

DIY Buffet Table! Our last edition to the dining room. Very happy with how this one came out! Its all Oak with Special Walnut stain and hardware from Home Depot. We needed this piece to store our fine china we received from our wedding. Still haven't eaten on them yet. . . Anyway! I was inspired by the planked sideboard plan and made it my own. My shelves are straight across and I went for the barn-styled cabinet look. Pretty much used all the tools in my arsenal for this one! Used a belt sander for the first time to make the top perfectly level. Hated using it, to be honest! It really shreds the wood. Other than that, I have another piece to be proud of. Thanks for the inspiration!

My son needed more shelves/storage in his room. Modified this a bit shorter in length and with to fit better in his space. Easy to build and love how it turned out!

This project took me about 10 hours. I enjoyed every minute of it! I built this bed for my son. I looked at other plans but you had to pay for them and they weren't as good as these. It's good to no that there is people like Ana that is still willing to help people. Thanks for the plans

I needed a quick project that could easily be modified for my height needs and would make a good temporary base for my new water dispenser. This was perfect!

Inspired by Ana!

I wanted a place for our dog beds, without just having them all over the floor (we have 2 big dogs and 2 little ones. I decided to build a window seat in front of the large window in our dining room which could double as dog beds/kennels. While the base plan was off the large wood pet kennel end table, it had to be modified significantly to be wider, shorter, and sturdy enough to sit on. I am also still trying to decide if/how i want doors on here. This is actually 2 kennels next to each other (not 4) Next will be to build 2 actual kennels for the big dogs to place on either side of this.

Outdoor Sofa

I used the basic design for this bed but altered it quite a lot to make the joins stronger, the edges smoother and the whole thing generally easier to take apart and put back together.
I used beech wood and completed the project at a woodworking club, so it's quite hard to estimate the time taken, as I only did it one evening a week and spent most of the time bringing the wood out, putting it away and clearing up each time I was there!
I am still undecided whether to give it an oil finish or to paint it white with chestnut wood stain on the headboard and footboard tops.

Just copied the plans from ana, we built it for an auction to support a group home. it was easy and quick. the project panel was big enough to also use as a shelf when cut down for the top, we loved how the top and shelf matched. we built a bigger drawer to have a more chunky look.

My wife and I built this for our 3 year old and 1 year old. They love them already.

This is my first brag post! I modified the base to make benches. I am not super creative or any good at math, so I was super proud :D

We decided to make a helping tower for my little guy for Christmas after I saw it on Pinterest. The curves were not the easiest, but I think they turned out fine. He's just finally starting to use it more as a helping tool rather than a playing platform. Definitely happy that it keeps him from standing on the chairs.

Thank you so much for this plan. I love this site!
